Seeming it's around Halloween and there's a lot of zombie-talk on the forum lately, I figured it was worth posting this. Thought you lot might enjoy it.

Simple description: 5-part TV film about your usual zombie outbreak, except this one is unique in that it takes place inside a fictional Big Brother house. No it's not Big Brother, it's just based in the studio and is made to look like the genuine thing (at least, before the shit hits the fan), even having the host and some old housemates in cameo roles. Also includes among the best character seen in any zombie film, zombies in wheelchairs, plenty of gore, some lulz, some clever social commentary, and a great climax. IF YOU LIKED FILMS LIKE 28 DAYS LATER YOU'LL LIKE THIS, IT'S RIGHT UP THERE WITH THEM. I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO GIVE IT A WATCH.

Britain has a big problem. The dead are returning to life and attacking the living, and it's spreading like wildfire. Curiously, there are a few people left in Britain who aren't worried about any of this and that's because they're the remaining contestants in Big Brother. Cocooned in the safety of the Big Brother house, they're blissfully unaware of the horrific events unfolding outside. Until an eviction night when all hell breaks loose.

Kelly, (Jaime Winstone) the production runner working on Big Brother finds herself caught in the impossible position of trying to fend off the walking dead alongside the remaining housemates, Davina herself, a host of former Big Brother housemates, her producer boss Patrick (Andy Nyman) and boyfriend Riq (Riz Ahmed).

Over the ensuing days, in a cruel reflection of the game show they thought they were entering, the contestants fall victim, one by one, to the hungry masses outside. Staying alive requires teamwork, which is tricky when you're a group specifically selected by TV producers to wind each other up.


Now, I would post pootube links but they're keeping a tight leash on it, and it's giving me hassle about 'not available in my country' even though it was 3 days ago. So, torrent links it is.

Downloaded. Watching tonight.

Alright so i watched it. And surprisingly it was really good.

It was well put together, really worth watching.

The only thing is i wish it had a bit more action and more moving around to survive rather then sit in the set of big bother.

9/10 for me.

Also on another note, is that woman "pepper" really that bloody stupid? Or was she just playing the role.
Elanzer
You're surprised it's good? Heretical! You know I only ever recommend the best.

And yeah everyone is an actor, it's just Davina and the handful of people in the party room at the start that are acting as themselves.

I'm glad that Patrick guy died a horribly painful death. He is a real nutter.

YOU LIED TO ME

There's only one paki (survivor) though?
Shaun
Loads in the actual thing though.
Also why does the main girl person always seem to hang around with pakis? She goes out with one, cheats on him with another one, and then becomes bumchums with the paki in the house.
Crazy Asian
You REALLY hate Pakis don't you?
Elanzer
Riq (boyfriend) is of Indian ethnicity, so not a paki.
Space (housemate) is mixed english/egyptian, so not a paki.
Danny (the guy she's cheats with) I can't say for sure, but I'm 90% certain he's not even half paki.

Besides, just under 10% of the English population is Asian (or in/around London where this set, drastically higher... think 15-20%), so even if they were all pakis it'd still only be realistic, unfortunately.

Why should the ethnic makeup of a cast change how you rate the film anyway? At the end of the day they're still all English, and it's only 3 characters, one of which is only onscreen for about a minute before being killed off... Get used to it, it's still a good film.

dnt blym mi init

They act/look enough like them to me. I dont mind though, it wasn't bad once I got past the rage.
Elanzer

I await Wolf's report.
